Gail Shister | Hitler mini-series won't scare advertisers, CBS predicts

I mean, it's young Hitler, right? When he was only a struggling anti-Semitic madman and not yet a mass murderer! Why would anyone be offended by that?

"Everyone recognizes that this is a controversial figure," [CBS VP of Communications Chris] Ender says, "but we have tremendous faith in the producers to handle the material responsibly and not glamorize Hitler in any way."

Um... Chris, exactly what circles are you moving in? Hitler isn't "controversial". He's Hitler! There's no controversy here, not among normal people, except maybe if he or Stalin was worse. The only people who use "controversial" for Hitler are people like David Irving.
